The meal usually begins with a set of at least four cold dishes, to be followed by the main courses of hot meat and vegetable dishes. Soup then will be served (unless in Guangdong style restaurants) to be followed by staple food ranging from rice, noodles to dumplings. If you wish to have your rice to go with other dishes, you should say so in good time, for most of the Chinese choose to have the staple food at last or have none of them at all.
Perhaps one of the things that surprise a western visitor most is that some of the Chinese hosts like to put food into the plates of their guests. In formal dinners, there are always “public” chopsticks and spoons for this purpose, but some hosts may use their own chopsticks. This is a sign of genuine friendship and politeness. It is always polite to eat the food. If you do not eat it, just leave the food in the plate.
People in China tend to over-order food, for they will find it embarrassing if all the food is consumed. When you have had enough, just say so. Or you will always overeat!
小题1:What’s the main difference on dinner table between China and West is ___________.
A.On Chinese dinner table, chopsticks replace knife and fork. |

解析
试题分析:本文讲述的是中国的餐桌文化,告诉人们对于餐具的使用以及其他的一些要注意的具体的细节。
小题1:D。根据第一段第一句 “the main difference on the Chinese dinner table is chopsticks instead of knife and fork, but that’s only superficial”可知A不对。根据第三句“The real difference is that in the West, you have your own plate of food, while in China the dishes are placed on the table and everyone shares.”可知应该选D。
小题2:C。本题为细节理解题。可以根据文章第二段第一句“The meal usually begins with a set of at least four cold dishes, to be followed by the main courses of hot meat and vegetable dishes.”可知是以a set of four cold dishes开始的,然后是the main courses of hot meat and vegetable dishes。根据第二句“Soup then will be served (unless in Guangdong style restaurants) to be followed by staple food ranging from rice, noodles to dumplings.”可知先上serving soup,再上the main courses of hot meat and vegetable dishes。 可以推出应该选择C。
小题3:D。本题为细节理解题。从第三段最后一句“ If you do not eat it, just leave the food in the plate. ”可知B项不对;选项C是文章直接给出的,故而不选。从文章第一段第二句“you can always ask for a pair of knife and fork, if you find the chopsticks not helpful enough.”可知A不对。从第三段第一句“some of the Chinese hosts like to put food into the plates of their guests.”可知应该选D。
小题4:C。本题考查学生根据上下文推理的能力。从下文“……for most of the Chinese choose to have the staple food at last or have none of them at all.”来看中国人都喜欢最后吃主食或者不吃,因此如果你想吃的话要提早说。故而选择C。
小题5:B。根据文章倒数第二段第二句话In formal dinners, there are always “public” chopsticks and spoons for this purpose,….可知是为了this purpose ,而this应该是承接上文所指即“to put food into the plates of their guests”,因此应该选择B。

举一反三
However, this illegal sharing of music — a form of music piracy(盗版)— is doing harm to the music industry. Industry experts estimate (估计) that US$4.3 billion in worldwide sales was lost to music piracy last year. These lost profits could force record companies to stop producing the music of many popular artists. That would hurt both musicians and music fans alike.
Music producers are puzzled about how to fight music piracy. Their efforts to fight piracy using the law have had only limited success. The music industry did win a legal victory against Napster, a famous music website. The courts ordered Napster to stop giving away copyrighted music from their site. But a number of other music-sharing networks have sprung up in its place.
These new networks are made up of thousands, or even millions, of individuals. Unlike Napster, there"s no one company controlling the distribution(发行)of music over each network. So it"s nearly impossible to stop the illegal activities.
Now people in the music industry have decided that " if you can"t beat them, join them." They"ve begun to offer legal alternatives to online music piracy. Major music producers have given companies like Apple Computer permission(许可) to sell their music online. Apple"s iTune Music Store allows computer users to legally download any song for 99 cents.
Will these new measures save the music industry from piracy? That depends on whether music fans are willing to pay 99 cents fro a song that they can download illegally for free. Unfortunately, many people believe music should be free. The music industry, however, hopes to persuade these music fans to change their tune.
小题1:This text is written to _____.
A.discuss music piracy on the Internet |
B.introduce the popularity of online music |
C.persuade music fans to give up downloading music |
D.protect copyrighted music from being downloaded illegally |
A.Some online file-sharing services are responsible for music piracy. |
B.Napster, a famous music website, broke down because of its piracy. |
C.There have been no perfect measures to put an end to piracy. |
D.Legal sharing of music is available at Apple"s iTune Music Store. |
A.The only effective way to fight music piracy is to stop it by law. |
B.Music lovers will be persuaded to pay for online music in time. |
C.It is certain that no one will be willing to pay for online music. |
D.There is a long way for music industry to go in fighting piracy. |
A.being protected by the law | B.popular | C.being against the law | D.surprising |
“You don’t often get a day off. Supermarkets put a lot of pressure on farmers to keep prices low. With fewer people working on farms it can be isolating,” she said. “There is a high rate of suicide and farming will never make you rich!”
Like others around the world, Charlotte’s generation tend to leave the farm for cities.
Oliver Robinson, 25, grew up in Yorkshire. But he never considered staying on his father and grandfather’s land. “I’m sure Dad hoped I’d stay,” he said. “I guess it’s a nice, straightforward life, but it doesn’t appeal to me. For young, ambitious people, farm life is hard.”
For Robinson, farming doesn’t offer much “in terms of money or lifestyle”. Hollins agrees that economic factors stop people from enjoying the rewards of farming. He describes it as a career that provides “for a vital human need”, allowing people to work “outdoors with nature.”
Farming is a big political issue in the UK. The “Buy British” campaigns urge consumers not to purchase cheaper imported foods. The 2001 foot and mouth crisis closed thousands of farms, stopped meat exports, and raised public consciousness about the troubles on UK farms.
Celebrity chef Jamie Oliver’s 2005 campaign to get children eating healthily also highlighted the issue.
This national concern gives hope to farmers competing with powerful supermarkets. While most people buy food from the big supermarkets, hundreds of independent Farmers’ Markets are becoming popular.
“I started going to Farmers’ Markets in direct defiance(违抗) of the big supermarkets. I seriously objected to the super-sizing of everything-what exactly do they put on our apples to make them so big and red? It’s terrible,” said Londoner Michaela Samson, 31.
小题1:What are the challenges that British farmers face according to Charlotte Hollins?
a. loneliness b. thin profits
c. a lack of good equipment d. long working hours but slow results
A.abc | B.abd | C.acd | D.bcd |
A.He hoped for a simpler life |
B.He was fed up with a hard farm life. |
C.Farm life was too demanding though he liked it. |
D.He hoped for something challenging and rewarding. |
A.British people ate more British beef. |
B.To be a beef farmer became profitable. |
C.Diseaes dramatically reduced the amount of beef available. |
D.Foreign farmers stopped selling beef to Britain. |
A.Lower prices. | B.Flexible sizes. |
C.Convenient location. | D.Healthier food. |
A.Things are improving for independent farms in the UK. |
B.Farming in the UK can now match the powerful supermarkets. |
C.Most British people are doubtful of food in supermarkets. |
D.Most British people have realized the problems facing farms and begun to help save them. |
The act of bargaining with someone is very theatrical, in my opinion. It’s a test to see who can stand their ground for the longest. But it is not in British people’s nature to “perform” in public, especially around strangers.
However, in the US, people are generally more willing to haggle. And if you wander into a market, you’re likely to hear a number of phrases that Americans reserve for such occasions.
First, “you drive a hard bargain” is commonly said by the customer to indicate they think the stall holder is working very hard, probably a little too hard, to get the price he wants.
Or you might hear the buyer telling a stall holder that “the kid’s gotta have braces”, which means they don’t have enough spare money lying around to afford the price being offered.
If the customer is really shocked at the price suggested by the seller, they also might say “you’re killing me” to indicate that they think the price is far too high.
In Britain, it’s difficult to imagine anyone saying anything along these lines. If I were forced to bargain, I’d probably say, very simply: “I’m going to make you an offer.” If that offer were refused, I think I’d just walk away.
小题1:The underlined word “haggling” can be replaced by _______.
A.arguing | B.bargaining | C.performing | D.insisting |
A.They don’t think it is polite behavior. |
B.They have sales every January. |
C.They can always get a better price somewhere else. |
D.They dislike openly expressing feelings or opinions. |
A.the seller has a lot of deals on offer. |
B.the buyer will make a final offer |
C.the stall holder is too insistent |
D.the buyer doesn’t have a lot of spare money |
A.Negative. | B.Careless. | C.Positive. | D.Critical. |
A.By providing examples. |
B.By making comparision. |

D.By following the order of importance. |
In China, although teenagers can get their ID cards at 16, many only see themselves as an adult when they are 18. In the US, where everyone drives, the main step to the freedom of adult life is learning to drive. At 16, American teens take their driving test. When they have their license, they drive into the grown-up world.
“Nobody wants to ride the cheese bus to school,” said Eleanor Fulham, 17. She brought the pressure back to memory, especially from kids from wealthier families. “It’s like you’re not cool if you don’t have a car,” she said.
According to recent research, 41% of 16 to 19-year-olds in the US own cars, up from 23% in 1985. Although, most of these cars are bought by parents, some teens get part-time jobs to help pay.
Not all families can afford cars for their children. In cities with subways and limited parking, some teenagers don’t want them. But in rich suburban areas without subways, and where bicycles are more for fun than transportation, it is strange for a teenager not to have a car.
But police say 16-year-olds have almost three times more accidents than 18 and 19-year-olds. This has made many parents pause before letting their kids drive.
Julie Sussman, of Virginia, decided that her son Chad, 15, will wait until he is 17 to apply for his learner’s permit.
Chad said he has accepted his parents’ decision, although it has caused some teasing from his friends. “They say that I am unlucky,” he said, “But I’d rather be alive than driving, and I don’t really trust my friends on the road, either.”
In China, as more families get cars, more 18-year-olds learn to drive. Will this become a big step to becoming an adult?
小题1:Which may serve as the BEST title of the article?
A.Cars Helping You to Grow-Up | B.Driving into the Grown-Up World |
C.Teenagers’ Driving in America | D.Recognized Point of Becoming an Adult |
A.they want to show themselves off | B.they are never experienced drivers |
C.older people always drive better | D.they never drive carefully on the road |
A.How well off the family is. |
B.Whether the kid is old enough. |
C.What traffic condition there is around. |
D.Whether it’s practically needed. |
A.he might run into his friends if he drove |
B.he didn’t agree with his friends |
C.he might not be safe if his friends drove |
D.he was afraid that his friends might well lie to him |
A.an American culture |
B.a cultural difference between America and China |
C.a change in the Chinese culture |
D.the relationship between driving and a person’s development |
Several teens are talking about this. Most of them are unhappy and worried. But Chris is not. He laughs and tells a story about two mice, two “little people” and some cheese.
The four are in amaze looking for the cheese. Here, cheese means something important in life, like moving to a new class or getting into college. But they find the cheese is gone. The mice realize that they can’t change what has happened and have to find more cheese. This means finding different dreams. The little people, however, can’t do this. They are afraid of change so they find no cheese
After Chris finishes the story, the friends understand one thing: to get more cheese, move in a new direction quickly. His friends understand how this can be used in the changes all teens face, such as doing well at school or having good relationships or just feeling good about yourself.
小题1:The book Who Moved My Cheese is __________.
A.read across the world | B.written all over the world |
C.sold only in America | D.loved only by teens |
A.Never change in our life. | B.Change when you like to do. |
C.Change with the changes. | D.Pay attention to the changes, |
A.Mice and little people | B.Students | C.Cheese | D.Readers |
A.Mice | B.Little people | C.Chris | D.Spence Johnson |
A.The author is Britain. |
B.There are three terms in every school. |
C.Most teens don"t understand Chris" story. |
D.The book tells teens how to face changes in their lives. |
